Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power
assist for the brakes will not work.
You can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than typical. The stopping distance,
however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering control
on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
- Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, excessive
brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
- When descending a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous application
of the brakes. Applying
the brakes continuously will
cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a temporary
loss of braking performance.
- Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle’s ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fashion
after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, lightly
tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes function
correctly.

Using All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
delivers engine power to and rear
wheels for maximum traction. AWD is
useful when extra traction is
required, such as when driving on
slippery, muddy, wet, or snow-covered
roads.
If the system determines there is a
need for ...
